===================
AI grading Overview:

This 1964 Canadian 50‑cent piece appears to be a Proof‑Like (PL) coin from a mint set and, from the photos, falls roughly in the PL‑64 range (About Choice Proof‑Like), not a top‑end cameo example.

Obverse grading notes:

Luster and mirrors: Fields have clear mirror reflectivity but show noticeable hazing and scattered contact marks, typical of mid‑grade PL coins (around PL‑63/64).

High points: Hair above the ear and the cheek are fully struck with no obvious wear, indicating an uncirculated/PL coin rather than AU.

Marks and spots: Numerous small white spots and light hairlines in the fields, plus a couple of darker toning patches around the portrait, reduce eye appeal below PL‑65.

Reverse grading notes:

Detail: The coat of arms, lettering, and denticles are sharp with no flattening on the lions, unicorn, or crown jewels, consistent with PL or MS.

Field quality: Mirror fields again show scattered hairlines and contact marks, but nothing deep; this fits PL‑63/64 rather than higher gem grades.

Cameo contrast: Devices and fields are similar in brightness; there is no strong frosted “cameo” effect, so the coin would not qualify for Cameo/Heavy Cameo/Ultra Heavy Cameo designations.

Overall technical grade estimate

No visible wear, full detail, definite PL mirrors ⇒ PL‑63 minimum.

Noticeable hazing, spots, and hairlines in open fields prevent a gem designation (PL‑65+).

Putting this together, a conservative market‑style opinion would be PL‑64, with the caveat that only an in‑hand inspection by ICCS/PCGS/NGC can give an official grade.

PL (Proof-like): Coins not intended for circulation struck and sold by the Mint in a special package despite the fact that their composition is identical to the coins produced for circulation.
